I have tire honour to inform you that the Island of Ithaca was this day - surrendered, to the detachment of British 'ships under my command, in eoncert with his Majesty's•shiplomel. Finding the enemy's batteries commanded ie harbour in such a manner as to render ineffe6tual ttre firs: from the ships, I immediately' landed the troops and marines, accompanied by a division of seamen under the direction of Captain Crawley, marthed without loss of time to the enemy's prit'icipal fort, situated on an eminence, with the determine tion to take it by assault t—Our intention was how— evei frustrated by the unconslitional sUrrender of the French Commandantandhis garrison. Dating our march tlre enemy was held in check by the fire of a gun-boat detached by Captain Craw ley t,.r that purpose:. The garrison, consisting of near eighty men, have been made prisoners of war, with the exception of a few Albanians, who escaped to the mountains, but who must inevitably fall into our hands. It is impossible that I can express the obligations I am under to Captain Crawley for ,the very ,hand some manner in which he gave every assistance in his power to ensure the success of the enterprise. To Mr. Foresti, his Majesty's Minister to the Seven Isles, I beg also to offer my sincere acknoWledg ments tor .the great service he rendered, to me on this occasion, and I feel. it my duty • to report the uniform gooU condutt of the officers and men of the 35th Regiment, Royal Corsican Rangers, 'and,ltbyal Marines composing the detachment . I 'had the ho- flour to command. I have only to add the extreme joy of- the inhabi tants in being rescued from the slavery under which they hadhithert o groaned. I have the honour to be, Sze.- • (Signed) R. CHURCH, Captain, • Assistant Quarter-Master-General. To Brig, Gen. Oswald, &c..Bcc. On board his Majesty's ship Warrior, Zante Bay, Oct. 16, 1809. The Spartan 'frigate, having oti board a detach ment of Royal Artillery, witty light guns, and two companies of the 35th regiment,:under the orders of Major Cl ,- e - ke - of that corps, sailed from Cephalonia on the 6th instant, iosirutted to proceed off Ce rig°, block' up its port, and, if circumstances war rattled, to moke an immediate attack upon the Island. It was Captain Sprenger's intention and my own to have followed with consider4le reinforce ments; but a continuance of adverse gales prevent ' td.our getting further than this Bay where a tender • from Captain Brenton has just reached us, conveying dispatches, of which the accompanying are copies, announcing the surrender of Cerigo to the pre viously-detached force. Major Clarke goes fully in to the details of the military operatitin4. They cha raEterize an ardent spirit of enterprize; and he seems . to hate been pertettly seconded by the. Officers and men tinder his orders, surmounting difficulties greater than I apprehended be had "the means of evercOm- • ing. l'lte - enterprise which your Excellency confided to me hting thus happily - accompliihed, it only re mains fur me to testify •my fullest approbation of the coridua of the troops. A discipline has been main tained that did honour to the soldier, and 'refletied the utmost•credit upon the commanding and subor dinate-Officers.- - I am under tic greatest obligations to the Officers of the S'aff of My command ; they have been most assiduous in the discharge of tlitir tespeaive duties. I must recur in the warmest terms of 44ckriowlecig spent to the never-ceasing aid received from Captain Spranger ; it was my good food fortune to aft with ae- Otlictr who, while our views and objeots.were'tbe same, Cordially united in the means of attending them. A siMilat harmony; and good correspond ence has reigned - through every branch of the two services. Our sticcess was accelerated, and . our subsequent political arrangements facilitated, by . the personal exertions and judicious ceuncils Of Mr. Foresti, his Alajesty's Minister to the Septinsular Republic, - and 'e greatly profited iu being accompanied by a gen tleman so luveil and esteemed by the inhabitants of these Isles. Mr..Voresti's distinguished merits have. received the commendations of the most illustrious of our countrymen; to add my humble tribute would be presumptuoiss, were it not called for by cfeelings. of gratitude and respeet towards so worthy a servant of our Sovereign. • • I will now proceed to place the liiands in t pos ture of defence, sufficient to .afford probable•secu . rity ; and I - ini = ledto - believe it may be 'accomplished without tiusithg any expellee to his Majesty's Go vernment. „ I have the honour to be, &c.
